This was posted on another thread so I thought I'd post it here to make Canadian women aware that this site is available. It's similiar to this one, but for canadian women under the age of 50.

Pam, How are you finding the site ? Obviously not as many members (yet) but in time I'm sure it will grow to be just as popular as this one. I visit both myself fairly regularly. Carole Meemee / Carole

Hi Carole. I visit often but not too much gets posted on the mets board (which unfortunately I belong to). Hopefully it will take off. We can always use more information about the Canadian side of things. |

Hi Pam & Meemee, Keep adding your input to the www.breastcancernowwhat.ca site. There were alot of volunteer hours placed into creating this site from women across the province in B.C. Barb www.breastcancersisters.ca

HI Pam, Yes I was. It first started out when I was involved with B.C. & Yukon Breast Cancer Alliance, and then through some meetings in Vancouver, the topic kept coming up that young women with breast cancer had unique and distinct needs. Support and resources were extremely hard to find, and this was the seed of many different ladies from The Young & the Breastless, B.C. Cancer Agency etc. being involved in the creation. How are you liking the site so far? www.breastcancersisters.ca

Congratulations Barb on getting this done. I kind of stopped going there because no one was posting in the "advanced disease" section. It will be great for many, though. The only flaw I found was that you actually had to sign up to read the posts. That might turn alot of people off from getting much needed info. I think that's why THIS site is so popular. You can read first and sign up later if you wish to post. Again, congrats on getting this accomplished...I'm sure it wasn't easy. Way to Go!!!! |

Hi Pam, By all means, post your comments on the board. The siter is meant to be user friendly. I think the concern was anyone on the worldwide web reading comments, but definitely voice your thoughts. www.breastcancersisters.ca

You know Barb, forget what I said about the flaw. What you said makes so much sense. It's probably better that you have to be legit to be able to read stuff. I'm definately going to drop in on occasion. |
